How do I boot commands?

ICPUG and Krishna - thanks for the support. The i915 command did not work, but the xmodule=vesa did. I was able to get to my folders. Everything seemed to freeze when I tried to copy more than one file at a time, but I assume this is a completely separate issue.

You might want to use the command line and wildcards for this one, if it's still incomplete. There are a lot ways to do it, but if you want more info on the topic, try going to LXTerminal (black screen on monitor icon) and type in

man cp
or
info cp
